I tried it with the clean map. 180 x 180

Hey, what do I know? I'm just a beta-tester! ;)

I thought there might be a problem with it. I'm at work, you see, and, well, they kinda frown on Civ here. I can't imagine why. . .
 
Ok I got something to work this time.
What I did was open Kal-el earth 180 x180v1.6(*.bix) then went to import.
When the import data dialogue box came up it had 3 main options with sub options. I tick all of the rules options, then in the map option I only ticked units and in the players option I ticked all.
then when that loads I just selected the DyP(*.bix) and it loaded with this text......
WARNING: Some requested bic data not found in file...(blah blah). Part import performed.

Anyway I checked that I could add the DyP resources and it let me and it also had the extra units and buildings.
All I need to do is add the new resources and play (hopefully).

Has anyone made an earth map for DyP with all the new resources on it yet?

If not can I put this one on the forum when its done?
The link that I got of isak didn't have the new resources added on it which is what i was hoping for but that doesnt matter.
 
It is possible to change the country and leader's name? I can't find it in the civilopedia.txt.

I just wanted to change to country to my country name and leader to my name, in this case, Vietnam.

Anyone knows please help, thanks.
 
Chuot, when you start a new game and you pick your civ, click on the text underneath the leader picture and you can change the civ and leader names for that game to whatever you like.
 
It should be noted that this does nothing for the city names, you'll still have to enter those in for yourself. That is, if you want different names other than the default ones.
 
Thanks, Nder - for some strange reason I couldn't find the Huge map :crazyeye:
 
i have a few questions about Dyp i hope y'all can help with.
First, I've never been able to use mobile infantry in the PTW version due to some error. In the regular version it's in black and white? Both versions have the most up to date patches. I was wondering if downgrading the patches would correct problem. I could try removing and installing everything again, but nothing happened the last time I did that. Also, what do u have to do to play DyP on the world maps?
thanks
 
With regard to the mobile infantry, assuming you are seeing the error where it can't find a Paratrooper sound file, you can work around it by going to the file CIV3PTW\Scenarios\DyP\Art\Units\Power Armor\Power Armor.INI opening it in Notepad and changing the line which says:
ATTACK2=..\Paratrooper\ParatrooperAttack.amb
to be:
ATTACK2=
We still aren't sure why some people don't have that file since it's a standard part of the original game. If you could provide any details on the versions of civ3/PTW (such as the country localization and where you got them) that might help us figure it out.

As for the world maps, take a look at Nder's post about 6 before yours which has links to large and huge maps ready to work with DyP already (I think the BICs are versions 0.91r and 1.05x)
 
Thanks for the advice and both versions are the American ones.
 
Is Civ3 the original release, or the 'Game of the Year' edition?
 
not sure but it came with a bonus disc
 
alright, i change the configuration that u stated, I'll try in now.

1 quick question, why didn't u guys add more unique units to the civilizations?
 
Is there a strategy guide link for DyP? I got really slaughtered when I took the mod for a spin in PtW. Firstly was that I settled in a bad place and it only grew to size 2, so I couldn't build any settlers.

I knew I was pretty screwed because crop rotation wouldn't come for another 10 techs if I went straight there. There were two forests there and I wasn't sure whether I should have cut them down or not.

To complicate matters I was getting attacked by barbs that were coming at me at all directions. I was surprised when the explorer was holding up well to the warrior's assult in the city.
 
I don't know of a strategy guide per se. There is a strategy forum at the other site but it's pretty low traffic. In theory, there's a strategy thread here too but that's *really* low traffic. What I found is that the first couple of games you play a little, learn what's really different, throw them out, and then start playing in earnest.

A good capital city location is quite important in DyP, although you can't always get one and with some resources hidden, it might not become good until later. One thing, though: the first level settlers (all clans/shaman in the release; hardy versions in the beta) only require 1 pop to build, so you *can* make them in a size 2 city. I made that same assumption (among other problems) on my first DyP game as well and paid the price. In fact, if you search back a ways in this thread, you'll see a really whiny post from me about how I couldn't get anything to work in that first game ;)
 
What page might that post be on?
